I went from 0702 -> 0717 -> 0729.

I have no reboots when I change wallpaper

No "Android is upgrading..." issue EVERY reboot, I only get this message when I install new apps and this is because ART compiles new apps on reboot.

I haven't noticed any speed difference from 0702 to 0729 when rebooting or using my phone, but i'm positively sure its faster than stock rom.

My reboot menu is always displayed correct (I don't use xposed because i'm using ART)

I don't use plex or mx player, but I have had problems with streaming online videos, I can't remember if this ever worked? It has been a problem for a really long time.

Never seen any errors with E:-?? and and-sec-stuff

When I charge version 0702, 0717 and 0729 with my org. samsung wall charger the charge process will stop before my battery is fully charged, but charging in car or from PC is fine, so I think the samsung wall charger is defect.

No Wifi problems

No systemUI crashes, ever on any ROM, but I know everyone else complain about this..?

I only experienced the 1GHz bug one single time a long time ago, so I guess i'm lucky...

I don't really care about simple benchmarks like antutu. I'm an old overclocker who used to benchmark 24/7 but know I believe benchmarks rarely show the whole picture and therefore does not tell how the phone feels when used for real. My s3 mini feels pretty fast when I use it so i'm happy :)

My battery only get slightly warm when I charge it or if my phone is working really hard (because I dont have 1 Ghz bug?)

BUT version 0702 had better deep sleep capability and therefore used less battery than more recent releases, so I'm thinking about downgrading to 0702 again.

Im only using f2fs on data partition and I do like the increase in random write performance this new file system brings, but I would prefer if maclaw prioritized his time on fixing other problems and bugs like battery life and video streaming. I can't prove it but I think samsung exploited something in android to make f2fs benchmark faster than it really is (linux write back cache?)

JustArchi-optimizations isn't my cup of tea, because I prefer stability over speed. When JustArchi-optimizations managed to screw up the pictures in google play store try to imagine what else they might screw up?

GCC4.9 isn't my cup of tea either again I believe its speed over stability and Linus say its ****, so I think its wise to stop using it!

Regarding 2 release in a day, please remember that team nova fusion develops and maintain more ROMs and phones than CM11 for s3 mini, so it could be one update for CM11 and another for SLIM or maybe another phone...

This is only my personal experience and thoughts, I don't want to tell Maclaw what he should do or not and I don't want to start a fight with anyone, so please don't flame me to hard, OK?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] pugengbagsek:
still waiting for the release :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] rovama:
+1

That's the most important thing for me... the battery life
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] armadiljo:
Believe me, I won't flame you :) I only believe it's good for everyone to handle this with a lean approach, and this whole project is worth to be watched with a critical eye.

- Streaming video was less of an issue in CM 10.2 (with about the same data and apps on it's partition). H/W+ was working on stock ROM. So I still believe it has something to do with ROM, and is something which can be improved with software.

- I agree simple benchmark test aren't too important, but I don't know any other way (slightly objective) to compare and quantisize performance. My phone feels fast too, at least much faster than on stock rom. I only don't experience an improvement over the time on CM. My phone is faster since the first time I'm using CM but doesn't feel like being faster in july, compared to february ;)

[MENTION=5492392]Da Xiang[/MENTION] I'll take the risk not to contribute anything. Look, latest version of this ROM is downloaded 12000 times. That means it's beyond the point of only being used in a clean environment for tests, study and education. I don't expect a flawless experience, I only point out that there's much room for improvement, and partially that improvement can be reached by taking a critical look at what was working better in the past.

Let's say, take the basics of todays ROM, leave the JustArchi-optimization out, compile it like you where compiling before april 20th, I have a feeling it's could be an improvement for both users and testers, having lots of issues or not. It's not a demand, but it's worth to discuss and talk about. In way opinion.

Hi I am having some problems transferring huge files to my phone from my p.c the mtp transfer is very slow is there any way that i can activate mass storage?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] vicvx:
I doubt that it's possible. Mass storage wasn't available on stock rom either. Maybe someone else knows of a trick though.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tom1491:
Hello everyone,

I don't know if anyone here has the same problem as I get but whenever I record a video in any video recorder apps (including Google Camera, Instagram and etc.), nothing happenes and all video files are saved as .mp4.tmp format. If someone know how to solve this please kindly tell me. Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] evildog1:
try rename the file and remove the .tmp format and play the video

F2FS, EXT4 or exFAT for sdcard?

I tried to format my sdcard as F2FS using TWRP, but it would not mount automatically in CM11. Since F2FS is said to have better performance, it would be cool to use it for the sdcard.

Other than this, the only bug I have notices is that networking over Wifi seems to stop working now and then, even though WiFi icon is still on.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tobi-19777:
your extern sd card?

i think it`s only for the internal!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] armadiljo:
f2fs on external SDcard is not supported.

"Our ROM currently supports all Android partitions (/system, /data & /cache) formatted as f2fs."
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] evildog1:
if ext SDcard was f2fs, Windows can't recognize my ext SDcard.

Release in a hour.

Also our big project is on finish, you will see it soon!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] jppcarvalho94:
Can't wait!!! :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] armadiljo:
I don't know (I don't know anything about windows), but I guess this was about an S3 mini on Android/CM11... In that case f2fs is no option, and you could stick with on of the options provided by TWRP. My sdcard is just plain exFAT. Should work.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tobi-19777:
come on! what is the big project? otherwise there are just rumors!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Gatak:
It is a feature I'd like to see some time though.

How often do you take the sdcard out of the phone? Transfer with ES or another file manager over WiFi instead? Besides, having the option of F2FS or exFAT or other filesystems doesn't mean that you are forced to use any of these alternatives.

ps. I tried exFAT, but it didn't work.... Did someone else got it to work?

good thing is it fix my problem with MTP driver not installing to my laptop :good:

but still offline charging not working,same as the last build will turn on after switching off.

sir [MENTION=514419]maclaw[/MENTION] thanks again, keep it up :good:

Before installation, try to wipe /system too!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] prototype74:
Offline charging working. Turn off your phone and then plug in your charger and your phone will boot into offline charging. If you plug in your charger before you turn off your device then will your device reboot normal to system.

It seems WiFi "saved" problem hasn't fixed yet though..
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] heithered:
Thats not related to this rom, i experience the same thing with my stock nexus 10.

Sent from my GT-I8190/Novafusion CM11
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] pugengbagsek:
i not experiencing any wifi problems, works fine
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] jppcarvalho94:
After installing the latest release i'm experiencing some lag.. Before i installed it my phone was fast.. Anyone with the same problem?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
R u sure? I'm in doubt actually..

Just try to connect to another AP, directly from your connected AP, if you get 'saved' shows up, that's the little bug.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] pugengbagsek:
tried that to the last build and not a problem at all, will try to the latest
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] evildog1:
yeah same problem here. when i connect to any public wifis or private wifi in hotel. the Wifi settings says 'saved'. it's the ROM that have problem with wifi. my old android phone don't have any problem with wifi.

it's also happen in my home. while i'm connected to internet with strong signal, sometimes it disconnect the internet and say 'saved'... i pressed connect but it do nothing so PLEASE FIX maclaw!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] pugengbagsek:
tried conecting disconecting between two wifi not a problem :good: lucky me :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Da Xiang:
Then we are both lucky.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Gatak:
Wifi stops working

Seems that the problems with wifi still exists in latest release too. Apps simply can't access wifi network; ping, browser, anything, simply times out. if I turn wifi off and on again it always works for a while longer.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dreamH6:
I had same problem with stock ROM, so may be it's an hardware issue
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] evildog1:
i don't have this problem. i only have wifi 'saved' issue that the wifi won't connect any wifis. i had to reboot my phone to get the wifi to connect.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Gatak:
I never had this issue on Stock ROM from Samsung. Wifi always worked. The reason I switched to CM from Stock was because of buggy BlueTooth. :o

It actually seems to be a similar problem with 3G/2G data too. It sometimes stopps working even though there is enough signal, but it seems to come back after a while.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
I never had these Wi-Fi issues in my phone lol.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] volksieboi:
hello guys and gals

1stly, Sorry if i'm being abrupt guys.

I'm thinking of rooting and installing CM 11 on my wife's s3 mini. Mainly cos shes always complaining about the phone being slow, never having enough memory for apps, her battery life being terrible, etc. And i also want to educate her a bit more about the capabilities of her device. (its good for more than just candy crush and Clash of clans)

Is there anything i need to be aware of?

I will follow the root process (ODIN and CWM) and i believe i need to flash TWRP (i'm making sure that i cant use CWM to flash CM11? or can i?) anything else in regard to the setup process?

Any glaring bugs that i need to be aware of?

Again, please excuse me if i'm not following protocol iro posting but over 1000 pages is a bit much to look through. :o

Many thanks and your feedback is greatly appreciated. :good: :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tobi-19777:
Last build is smooth and the battery life is good for me[emoji4]
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Arrrroz:
Yeah that was it, thanks. I feel dumb now.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] armadiljo:
It could be useful 'scan' through posts from the last 7-10 days. Not because of protocols, but it gives an overview of issues people MIGHT run in to.

Be aware: this is a ROM which is used by a few thousand people. A good chunk of people use this rom without issues (or they don't mind). Another chunk of people do have issues and experience instability. So what you could expect:

- A rom which will be working much more fluent than you're used.

- A battery which will run out of juice more faster than you're used.

- maybe some crashes here and there. And you wouldn't be the first one with a clock freeze or a phone switching off automatically during the night. So don't rely on the alarm clock too much ;)

- A custom rom comes and goes with having and maintaining proper backups. Save a few bucks/euro's and install/use Titanium Backup and Nandroid Manager. (or similar programs). Don't be cheap, there's no free alternative for Titanium Backup with the same performance. Even though I'm personal one of the few with annoying issues because of Titanium Backup. Sooner or later you'll use it.

- To keep root-access under control, you'll need to install SuperSU (or something similar). Again, to fully use it's features, it won't be completely free.

- You'll also have to install/maintain GApps. Follow the link on the NovaFusion download page.

A small piece of psychology :) It's not guaranteed that your wife will be as enthousiast about custom rom as you are. It takes some time to use a custom rom, a rooted device and/or XPosed modules to it's full power. There is a learning curve. She'll have to get used to a lot of new stuff. If she doesn't want to go through that, do her a favour, just perform a clean install of the stock rom, restore the data backups, and leave it like that.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] evil_arri:
For your wife, check a Rom based on stock, installing CM11 just will bring you a life of pain, no sex, and complaining about everything the phone has to offer. Trust me... [emoji1]

Don't flash this ROM at least you expect bugs.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] armadiljo:
This was on version 20140729

Now I installed version 20140419

To make comparison:

1h48 of use (not doing that much with it)

screen on: 5m18

wifi on: 4m40

deep sleep time: 1h27

airplane mode: not

Battery went down 100% -> 94%

On these two testpoints, about the same data and apps were installed. I downgraded Titanium Backup to 6.1.5.4 and SuperSU to 1.98 and got rid of f2fs, for todays testpoint.

Really, I think there's something terribly wrong with battery and deep sleep policies in latest roms. This means new rom is using about 3 times as much battery (even while I was in airplane mode on earlier testpoint) OR battery percentage is displayed incorrectly. Next to that WiFi is just working fine on 20140419, but had serious issues on 20140729 (like mentioned numerous times by different people). Please advise and investigate.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] omarblu:
Battery life is quite good. Had minimal use of phone today. Phone doesn't deep sleep as much as previous builds.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] armadiljo:
Ok, that's much better than what I had. Since the kernel-upgrade, I didn't even make it through the night on a full battery and in airplane mode. Now I make it again for 22-26 hours with normal use.

Is it a known bug that you cant video record? Tried a few cameras, non work.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] PTGamer:
there is 2 ways depending on what you wanna do with the device.

the 1st one and the more simple is just flash via odin. its faster and you don't need to worry about anything you'll just need to click a button, in the end of the process you can change the file system on your recovery x)

but

if you wanna do a backup (or format the partitions to f2fs before installing the rom) then you'll need to root and install CWM / TWRP,
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tom1491:
I also have this problem. A video is recorded but saved as .mp4.tmp fortmat that's why we can't see any recorded video in gallery. As well, I found that I can't send any sound clip in any chat apps because it won't allow me to record. I wonder if anyone here except I and you has these bugs.

Does anyone know what the KeyChain apk in this CM really does?

On the net, I found this. I don't really understand that...

Somewhere else, people said "Credentials management: login for Google services, gmail, google talk, google voice, market, etc."

After it crashed a few days ago, I frooze it with Titanium Backup. So I expected to have to re-enter a lot of passwords/logins. But, no!

Today, I completely unistalled keychain.apk (com.android.keycahin) Again: nothing changed.

What is it?

Where is it used for?

Does this mean, in the future, I can always uninstall this?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mauam:
